"All of these renditions were note-perfect... Throughout the evening, the musicianship was extremely strong. There are few better ways to spend an evening than to hear Joni Mitchell's music done well." -- jonimitchell.com

Celebrating 12 years of "Both Sides Now: The Music of Joni Mitchell," Hannah Reimann's critically acclaimed show has presented over 40 songs from seven albums of the iconic Mitchell's discography since 2012. Her All-Star Band performs authentic versions in their original keys and arrangements from Court and Spark, , Blue, Ladies of the Canyon, Clouds, For the Roses and much more. Reimann is Music Grantee of the Cafe Royal Cultural Foundation and will be performing a few songs featured on her new EP, "Take Me To The Sun," at this show, with thanks to the Foundation for help with the recording. Most of the show will be devoted to hits by Joni including "A Case of You," "Court and Spark," full-band versions of "Rainy Night House" and "Woodstock" from the album, Miles of Aisles, River, and, of course, "Both Sides Now." She began her retrospective of Mitchell's music to heal her broken heart while her dad was dying from dementia and while she was directing the related documentary film, "My Father's House, A Journey of Love and Memory" (distributed by terranova.org).

Hannah is the Artistic Director of Stretto Piano Concerts and The International Stretto Piano Festival which she founded in 2021 to create as many worldwide concerts using stretto or narrow-key pianos and to stimulate the production of stretto pianos by all piano manufacturers. She rebuilt her Steinway grand piano in 1997 to have 5.9-inch octave keys, which is much easier to play than the standard 6.5-inch instrument for many pianists, and was featured on the front page of the Wall Street Journal as "a musician on a mission."

Audience members will be invited, one by one, to try the piano on the stage when the concert is over and much more about stretto pianos will be shared at every concert of the festival. strettopianoconcerts.org www.hannahreimann.com
